#OTD 1917: After the US Army failed to meet recruiting quotas in the weeks after America’s entrance into #WWI, the #SelectiveServiceAct of 1917 was passed. It created the first modern military draft, requiring all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for military service. Nearly five million Americans would serve in uniform before the 1918 Armistice. #MilitaryHistory

#OTD 1940: The US instituted the #SelectiveServiceAct of 1940. The act required all men between the ages of 21-35 to register for the draft. This was the first peacetime draft in US history. https://t.co/XFexQ3yGcA #WWII #BurkeWadsworthAct

Today in 1967-during the #VietnamWar-a Federal District Court jury in Boston convicted Dr. #BenjaminSpock and three others, including Yale University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, Jr., of conspiring to aid, abet and counsel draft registrants to violate the #SelectiveServiceAct.

With onset of #WWII, #marriage rates skyrocketed. Marriage rates increased 250% after #SelectiveServiceAct was passed. After the #draft, marriage rates increased another 25%, after #PearlHarbor rates rose 60% higher than the previous year. #WW2 #NeverForget #GreatestGeneration
